2016 Olympics: Rio wins - Chicago presentation "lacked excitement"

Rio will host the 2016 Olympics; there's a party down there that I wish were up here. Well, time to book tickets for Brazil..

Still examining the emotional wreckage from Chicago's stunning loss - ok, ass kicking - in the competition for the 2016 Olympic games, we find another gem of a GameBids.com editor report: that Chicago's bid lacked excitement and Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva made a plea that was so impassioned it overtook that from President Obama.

I still think that Mayor Daley comment story held away as it was only one week old, but this take is from the on-the-scene in Denmark editor of GameBids.com, Robert Livingstone, who's really done great work in this area over the years. It's a fresh unvarnished take, and may point to how hard an underdog works, Brazil, when they want to achieve something, in this case the Olympics.

Rio won. Give them credit for a job well done. The Olympics are in Brazil, now that nation's got to deliver and big time.

More on this later - got to catch a flight.
